mmmmm kind of but i think fuel economy wise they could have done a lot better....the cts 3.6 di awd gets 18 city/27 highway and it still has more hp and styling wise i would say its buyer preference...personally i like the edginess of the cts

Not a fan of the interior.

I'll take a CTS-V any day.

Muscle Master · 02-18-2010, 01:12 AM

well I was talking sedan and performance wise

... really the G37 is more of a CTS competitor

Actually the m37 has around 26 more HP than the DI 3.6 and only 1 MPG less and the M56 has an extra 116 HP and is only 2 MPG less (RWD models)

That's supposed to be a competitor for a Caddy?

Holy uglymobile Batman! Looks like a Beetle that forgot it was supposed to be on a diet, and grew an extra set of doors. lol

No kidding. They need to go back to stealing styling ques from american cars again. That thing looks like a train wreck.

In other news....sales remain unaffected for Caddies with the debut of the Infinity M. LOL.

i dont think its a bad looking car

If that V8 model is supposed to compete against the V, they've got their heads up their..."behind". Similar starting price, and down over 100hp.

Cadillac anyday, thank you. I don't see this as serious competition at all.

BUT...we need that DI V8 yesterday.

If infiniti/nissan can hoax 420hp and 25mpg...than GM should be able to get 28.

Looks like my dogs chew toy.

I see Infiniti still hasn't fired its design department.

No matter. Cadillac easily wins the design war then.

And like Dragoneye said, if they expect that V8 to go up against the CTS-V...

Not bad. Though this and the G37 are the only things I really like from Infinity/Nissan.
